Assistive Technology and Functional Diversity: Enabling Education
Ribeiro, Jaime; Faria, Graça; Abreu, Tiago; Silva, Sílvia; Bento, Lúcia; Freitas, DanielTechnological and contextual developments have been transforming society and, inevitably, education, bringing opportunities and challenges in ICT, particularly for those with diverse functioning. This chapter considers the implications of informing the professionals who support people with disabilities and summarises a set of technologies available to respond to functional diversity. It aims to discuss ways to ...
Tecnologias de Apoio e Diversidade Funcional: Contributos para uma Educação Ace...
Ribeiro, Jaime; Bento, Lúcia; Faria, Graça; Silva, Sílvia; Rodrigues, Sara; Azevedo, Luís; Abreu, TiagoA educação do(a)s aluno(a)s que apresentam diversidade funcional é um desafio frequente. As limitações funcionais emergem e devem ser colmata- das com maior brevidade para não constituírem impedimento à aprendizagem. As Tecnologias de Apoio, com serviços especializados na avaliação e aconselhamento de Produtos de Apoio, assumem-se como cruciais para aquele(a)s com padrões atípicos de funcionamento. Todavia, a p...
Diet and trophic position of two mackerel species in the archipelago of Madeira...
Romero, Joana; Vieira, Carolina; Garrido, Susana; Hermida, Margarida; Catry, Paulo; Faria, Graça; Granadeiro, J. P.The Atlantic chub mackerel Scomber colias and the Blue jack mackerel Trachurus picturatus are two abundant species in the Macaronesia region which include the archipelago of Madeira, Portugal. Both are key species in the trophic web, being important prey for several local top predators, such as seabirds and marine mammals. However, little is known about their feeding ecology in oceanic environments. In this stu...
First observations of hermaphroditism in the patellid limpet Patella piperata G...
Sousa, Ricardo; Henriques, Paulo; Vasconcelos, Joana; Faria, Graça; Riera, Rodrigo; Pinto, Ana Rita; Delgado, João; Hawkins, Stephen J.Hermaphroditism is thought to be an advantageous strategy common in marine molluscs that exhibit simultaneous, sequential or alternating hermaphroditism. Several species of patellid limpets have previously been shown to be protandrous hermaphrodites. The present study aimed to confirm whether this phenomenon occurs in Patella piperata. Transitional forms of simultaneous protandrous hermaphroditism were found in...
Stock assessment of the blue jack mackerel, Trachurus picturatus, in the North-...
Vasconcelos, Joana; Sousa, Ricardo; Riera, Rodrigo; Delgado, João; Faria, Graça; Serrano Gordo, LeonelA total of 49,151 blue jack mackerel, Trachurus picturatus, (Bowdich) was collected in Madeira Island (North-eastern Atlantic) between 2002 and 2016 to evaluate pos sible influence of fishing on landings and reproductive parameters. A decreasing trend in the length composition was observed over the study period and length at first maturity decreased by 2.78 cm TL. Maximum yield per recruit decreased from 2002 t...
Lipid and fatty acid composition of wild Almaco Jack Seriola rivoliana at two m...
Fernandes, Igor; Nogueira, Natacha; Faria, Graça; Fernandes, Tomásia; Faria, Marisa; Cordeiro, NereidaAlmaco jack (Seriola rivoliana) is an emergent marine finfish that presents high market value. In order to study the feasibility of the exploitation of this marine resource for human consumption the evaluation of the nutritional characteristics of this species has attracted the attention of the scientific community. The lipid characteristics and fatty acid composition were evaluated in muscle, liver and gonad t...

Fecundity regulation strategy of the blue jack mackerel, Trachurus picturatus (...
Vasconcelos, Joana; Faria, Graça; Freitas, Rita; Gordo, LeonelThis contribution intends to verify the type of fecundity regulation of the blue jack mackerel. For this purpose, the oocyte development process was analysed. A total of 158 ovaries were sampled between January 2009 and April 2010 from purse-seiners operating in the Madeira Island waters, NE Atlantic Ocean. Histological analysis and visual image analysis system were used to study the four main criteria applied ...
Atlantic chub mackerel (Scomber colias) spawning season, size and age at first ...
Vasconcelos, Joana; Afonso-Dias, Manuel; Faria, GraçaThe pelagic chub mackerel, Scomber colias Gmelin, 1789 is one of the most important fishery resources in the Madeira Archipelago. S. colias is caught by a small and coastal purse-seine fleet that traditionally operates around the islands. Monthly samples of chub mackerel were taken from commercial landings, between January 2002 and December 2005. Sex and maturity were assigned by visually inspecting the gonads ...
